This is a view of Vysehrad and the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul taken from Zelecnicni Most, which means literally "railway bridge" in Czech. That is indeed what it is, although there's a pedestrian walkway that's open to the public, and that's what I was using.

Perfect afternoon light!!! :-)

Here's a sweeping view of southeastern Prague from the Palackeho Most, although the low altitude inhibits the view somewhat. You can see Vysehrad, the old castle and neighborhood which predates Prazky Hrad, most notably featuring the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, with the twin steeples.

This is the famed "Dancing House," constructed in 1994-1996 to both widespread acclaim and derision, it was designed by Croatian architect Vlado Milunic in cooperation with Canadian architect Fred Gehry, it now houses a French restaurant on the roof, plus offices. It was originally intended to be a cultureal centure, but this never happened. My photo is unusual in that it views the building from the southwest, whereas normally photographers prefer to catch the more radical curves to this very oddly-shaped building that face to the northwest.

I was standing on Resinovo next to the Zeleznicni Most, and noticed this perfect shot of the Staropramen Pivovar (Brewery) and Stadion Stahov up on the hill overlooking it. Normally, I think Staropramen have a big sign out, but either I didn't manage to get it into my shot, or they've taken it down.

This is another case of seeing a shot and taking it, more or less. :-)

I've always noticed this hotel on Tylovo Namesti, but I never took a proper photo until I was standing by Bohemia Bagel, had my Lomo in my hands, saw good light, and took the shot. :-)

I'm 90% certain this sculpture dates to the Communist era. Why else would it have workmen and the word "Bratrych?" For the Czech speakers: is that "brothers," or "brotherhood?" I don't actually know since it's not in my dictionary.

I just saw the light and shot this. I like how it looks. :-)

This is the smallest of Bohemia Bagel's Prague restaurants. Actually, come to think of it, it isn't really a restaurant, but a kiosk, as you can't sit inside. In the summertime they have tables on the sidewalk, though.

This shot originally had a bad light leak on the left, but I cropped it to square format so now it's alright. This is my only Prague tram photo taken from this location, and one of the few that I have taken from a above.

This is a variation on the first tram shot that I ever uploaded to Flickr, which some of you will remember. In this shot, though, there are three, instead of two trams. :-)

Here's a variation on the DPP#s 8223, 8322, and ???? shot.

I saw the compostion of this shot and immediately liked it, so here it is. :-)

I like this shot, too, with the slight blur of motion.

This is one of my favorites, in my opinion one of my most "classic" of tram shots. :-)

I just liked the composition on this one, and the lighting. :-)

This shot is too blurred to identify this tram's number, but it's definitely a Tatra T3 double set.
